WikiLeaks Volunteer Was FBI Informant

Wired identified an 18-year-old Icelandic man as a FBI informant inside WikiLeaks.

Siggi Thordarson was a “long time volunteer for WikiLeaks with direct access to Assange and a key position as an organizer in the group. With his cold war-style embassy walk-in, he became something else: the first known FBI informant inside WikiLeaks. For the next three months, Thordarson served two masters, working for the secret-spilling website and simultaneously spilling its secrets to the U.S. government in exchange, he says, for a total of about $5,000.”
